Hmmm. Not sure. Green Mountain has been wildly sucessful with thier Keurig coffee machines. We got one last year and regardless of the added expense, we'll probably always own one. I tend to agree with the soda thing. Already one big competitor there (SODA). I question if a soda machine could make a soda as good as a store bought one.

People do make their coffee at home. I did know the Green Mountainwas "in" or a fad right now with higher income people. You have to dosomething to get hot coffee in the morning, you can just get a coldsoda out of the refrigerator.

Not knocking Green Mountain, just saying it may be 30% over valuedafter it went up 30% on hopes of selling coke machines. I didn't check them out to see what I thought they might be worth.

We're still fine with Mr Coffee after all these years, change every yearbut always makes good coffee. Never quite perfect, the one we havenow doesn't keep the coffee hot enough after it's brewed. They'vekept the actual brewing almost as perfect as you can get.

People are lazy, want things done for them. Story of a guy who hadbeen a disk jockey for 28 years who said "The only reason I still havea job is because people are too lazy to change their own records".
